Real-estate mogul Donald Trump said Friday night that Mitt Romney's team asked him to appear in a "commercial" for the campaign last year–but it never saw the light of day.

The video, he said, was supposed to run during the Republican National Convention and featured Trump sitting in his office with an actor who looked like President Obama. After telling the faux president "what a lousy job" he's done, Trump said, he delivered his famous line to the actor: "You're fired!"

Speaking at a conservative gathering in Washington, Trump boasted that Romney's team loved the video yet never used it because it was "too controversial."

Since Romney lost the election, Trump has not been shy in blasting the candidate as a weak nominee for the party. At the Faith and Freedom Coalition Friday night, Trump criticized Romney for having poor television ads and not performing well in the last debate.

...It is extraordinarily costly to support the most powerful political figure in the world. There is nothing unusual about the expenses for this trip. America has been doing this for generations.

You're blind to the irony of today's context.

While Barack and Michelle tastelessly schedule a garish one hundred million dollar tax payer financed family vacation, vacationing American families, paying for everything out of their own pockets, who want to tour the Obama White House home get this message:"Attention:Due to staffing reductions resulting from sequestration, we regret to inform you that White House Tours are canceled effective Saturday, March 9, 2013, until further notice. Unfortunately, we are not be able to reschedule affected tours."

One day of the Obama family vacation could fund six months of White House tours.
